Beck - Nobody's Fault But My Own

I really like this song. This more mature style was further developed on 'Sea Change', which is his best album IMO.

[@soumesh12]

Outer Range introduced me with this beautiful song.

[@kevinneal2575]

The show keeps getting better once you’ve been drawn in.

[@Vitalii2410.]

me too

[@cezarov997]

The same happened to me

[@csrb338]

Here we are. Good show.

[@Doc1orSnow]

Same 😉

[@MtnTuna]

one of my favorite songs ever. similar to certain Zepplin tunes as it Never gets old. it is haunting & beautiful & so powerful

[@kevinneal2575]

Watching Outer Range? I had to hear it again after hearing it at the end of S2 E5.

[@k-leb4671]

I love that the guitar begins in the centre of both stereo channels, but then slowly moves to the left so as to leave room for the sitar on the right channel. It's a nice subtle detail that makes the song feel more dynamic.

[@ehudriven6877]

Man I love this album so much. Start to finish, perfection.

[@brianplante-dv8uz]

Yes it is...Odeley got all the radio play..but Mutatations got all my stereo play.

[@kennyab5083]

Never realized 25 years ago this song was so good!

[@JonShade-fy2gm]

I would kill to hear Layne Staley sing this song. Beck's masterpiece.

[@brandonmcglone9292]

Jennifer Majewski I MISS LAYNE

[@charliecharlie1445]

Wow now that would be amazing

[@TheSolfilm]

Oh man, never thought about it but yeah, totally !!

[@rajarshidas1270]

beck nails it, but holy shit i've always felt this

[@doctortruth4094]

Brilliant! He'd be perfect. Of course, hard to think of a song that wouldn't benefit from Layne's incredible voice. Miss Layne!

[@roxybrooks6937]

Hauntingly atmospheric. Sticks with you like an emotion you had right before you woke up from dreaming...

[@loannagarwood]

Roxy Brooks Word. That is exactly what i am trying to convey. It is music of feelings and sensations and memories.

[@nickparsons337]

Roxy Brooks Agreed; and quite poetic as well. ;)

[@TheReelDealwithTomKonkle]

Roxy Brooks perfectly put

[@BrandonTedrow]

My exact sentiments. This is a song that does this to me, too. It's like an astral embrace upon wakening.

[@iseeu1980]

"Who could ever be so cruel (as to) blame the devil for the things you do". One of the most powerful lines I have ever heard in a song.

[@BrandonTedrow]

I love the influence that's heard here to what it makes it to this day when it was released. Sure you can hear this band or that but no one else is Beck. Listen to his different songs and remixes. No one else did what Beck did. His soul resonates through ages and places and people. Aho.

[@ruddock7]

Beck is simply a genius!!

[@wildrosecece]

It’s the down timing on this song. I went through a long Beck period, really breathed life into some epic feelings. Thank you Beck.

[@henlnhl1]

This is just a work of art...period.

[@louisnirvana1]

Beck man! best of the best! year after year , album after album.

[@1gravityann]

i don't have the words to say what an amazing song i think this is. wow

[@astroboomboy]

I'm going through a breakup, and after listening to this song I finally feel like I can move on. The heart aches, but it's nobody's fault but my own.

[@johnchapman5233]

Astro Boomboy pretty sure he's breaking up with a girl with a bad addiction, telling her to get real after handling her as carefully as you would a sharp rusty object. He took her out of her element (the chain gang) to get her right. She's got compelling blue eyes, she knows how to use quite effectively to get what she needs. She stays high and does nothing only to blame some supernatural force for her actions. He's telling her to recognize aloud the fact it's entirely her fault. "Tell me that "It's nobody's fault but my own""

[@WilliamDavidHobbs]

I, too, fell in love with this after a severe breakup.

[@JonShade-fy2gm]

@@WilliamDavidHobbs I was struggling to leave someone I was madly in love with who I'd been with for 6 years, on and off, and who was never going to love me the way I needed him to -- now I know, he never loved me at all. Listening to this song, and especially Sea Change, just eviscerated me. I couldn't listen to any song on it without being inwardly torn apart. Only now, years later, I can (& Nobody's Fault but Mine), without feeling desolate. But I have to respect it and listen with caution (and not very often). Which sucks, because it's such a brilliant song. And of course all of Sea Change is as well. Such is the power of music.

[@mikereaves8403]

sing the harmonies you will rise again

[@AngieEnz84]

Such a beautiful, haunting song.

[@loannagarwood]

This song is excellent on so many levels. The lyrics are simple, melencholy, wistful, wise... The melody is hypnotic, but not like it puts you to sleep, more that the music sounds like free-flowing thoughts or sensations inside your head. Sounds like a jungle or a dream. This song captures something so familiar to my experience of the world. Beck, you are the grooviest cat there is!

[@eddiejamison]

"when the road is full of nails, garbage pails, and darkened jails" Also gives me the bumps. It's just a perfect song from start to finish.

[@shamirmenashe]

One of the best songs ever

[@krugeslyfe9001]

My favorite top 20 songs of all time. 37 and it’s like hearing it for the first time at 19 (fucking magical time).

[@joebayne4258]

"When the moon is a counterfeit Better find the one that fits Better find the one that lights The way for you"

[@rr7firefly]

The paradox of this song is that Beck has constructed it one harmonic layer upon another, yet even with all those layers he achieves a shimmering transparency.

[@joetierney2]

Noe Berengena fuckin A

[@RookBishop03]

Noe Berengena What a douche

[@kraycrunr]

pretentious turd

[@Inkunabul]

this is genius...such a great instrumentation...its floating me back to myselfe

[@loannagarwood]

Tre Bor YES!!! That is it exactly.

[@gergsar]

Sea Change and Morning Phase, are both masterpieces.

[@davidhumphrey7874]

Not arguing your point, but this song is off Mutations. Which is also a masterpiece😊

[@BrandonTedrow]

Sea Change is another that I value deeply, too. His earlier, Earthly tunes really capture my soul's ear. The rawness is hard to shake from the mind.

[@SezrahSylvan]

One of my all time favourite songs. Gorgeous song.

[@starrywizdom]

Instrumental echoes of the Doors' "The End"

[@BrandonTedrow]

Everyone has influences, yes. I really love the Doors but Beck brings a new light.

[@gregorymorison1003]

The Beatles are also a big influence on this track

[@Schizoidman847]

Chanson exceptionnelle. Issue d'un album tout aussi exceptionnel, "Mutations" (1998), mon préféré de Beck.

[@ojeda5577]

Buenísimo!❤

[@ismailozay2173]

Treated you like a rusty blade A throwaway from an open grave Cut you loose from a chain gang And let you go And on the day you said it's true Some love holds, some gets used Tried to tell you I never knew It could be so sweet Who could ever be so cruel Blame the devil for the things you do It's such a selfish way to lose The way you lose these wasted blues These wasted blues Tell me that it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own Tell me that it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own When the moon is a counterfeit Better find the one that fits Better find the one that lights The way for you When the road is full of nails Garbage pails and darkened jails And their tongues Are full of heartless tales That drain on you Who would ever notice you You fade into a shaded room It's such a selfish way to lose The way you lose these wasted blues These wasted blues Tell me that it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own Tell me that it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own Tell me that it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own Tell me that it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own Tell me that it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own Tell me that it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own...

[@BubbaZen10]

I never knew it could be so sweet.

[@Janine.Najarian]

I love this song

[@metalkragok3771]

The song that spoke to my heart after every relationship I ever had from 2000-2012. I would get high and drive my sleepy, anxious, incestuous friends along the hidden and far reaching lost back roads of California's redwood curtain. I hold out my hand. 'Lets go on this adventure together. As we have done many times before. The journey could be long and sad at times, but we will arrive there together. You will not be alone.'

[@ojeda5577]

Amen to that

[@84Elenai]

I'll see him at the Primavera Sound Festival 2020 in Barcelona. So, so excited about it

[@complexlittlepirate3589]

Maybe not now... Something to look forward to after we hopefully get through the next few months...

[@84Elenai]

@@complexlittlepirate3589 definitely. Hopefully things will get better soon, fingers crossed.

[@gavinkey475]

5 thumbs down? must suck to be deaf!Beck is a genius.

[@Bluelilly40]

This caught my attention from the very beginning. Its beautiful, lush. A real detour from his usual. I really like it.

[@doctortruth4094]

This song is as close to perfect as any I have ever heard. Surreal.

[@donnadierker]

Love the song AND the slide show. Well done.

[@crash2cute]

this is the best song of all time. (IMO)

[@bluelilyism]

It's like his music comes from the music of the spheres or some strange golden land in a deep ocean of blue

You can get through it joseph, i believe in you!❤❤

[@BrandonTedrow]

Any addiction and habit of action, yes. What person doesn't go through this in one form or another? You're not alone, by far! Much love, keep strong and on track.

[@jamiesimms192]

It's a song about a plea to be humbled

[@RicardoPestana]

One of the best songs ever.

[@jamesblack2506]

This entire album screams of Beatle's influence

[@BrandonTedrow]

Very hippyish influence, yes. He can span to different genres much like the Beatles, too, but in a modern sense. Share that love!

[@t-bo2734]

I hear some Mark Lanegan circa Whiskey for the Holy Ghost here.

[@bellamyc7895]

lets be honest, you can say that about 100's of albums........they're the fucking Beatles for god sake

[@mariaspiteri2093]

From all songs using lyrics Nobody's fault, Beck lands truly with his own song for his fans. I find Beck delicate, rough and sexy in this one but did he write this song himself as well ?.. he must have, ingeniously !

[@RobertTully784]

Thanks Beck, I love this song,,Tullys Marine Canvas

[@gatogreensleeves]

Masterpiece.

[@loannagarwood]

One more thing, check out the song 'Debra'... what a groovy, sexy, charming Beck. Funny funny fun.

[@theronhayden4671]

LOVE Debra! So fun and nicely packaged! It's like the song Prince forgot to write.

[@jmarty1000]

I think it's more of a Frank Zappa satire of a Prince song... but better than both of 'em

[@TheBarnestah]

Perfect song just awesome..

Here's my head again, took this with my old samsung samsung 3000ad. it was my 96th SDcar, those fuckers always break.Mind you I do hang em from about 600 ft from a drone, and sometimes they plummit to good old mother earth, aint't gravity a bummer?

[@CharlesThomaston]

Sea Change is one of my favorite Beck albums. Mellow Gold is also at the top of my list. Mellow Gold has got a completely different vibe from Sea Change, and it may be near the top of my list because of "Baby Duck Syndrome", (because it's the first Beck album I ever bought), but I still love it to this day. I read somewhere that Beck produced Sea Change after he split up with his long-time compatriots and fellow band members. If that's true, you can hear it in the lyrics and music composition.

[@k-leb4671]

Charles Thomaston He actually split up with someone mush loser to him... ...as in a girlfriend, who he discovered had an affair.

[@CharlesThomaston]

Thanks for enlightening me

[@billystrings8942]

I THINK IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG IN THE WORLDS

[@stevemasters6090]

Biggest musical Genius since John Lennon. Hands down. Thank you Beck.

[@adammartin8094]

thank you ...you make sense

[@JonShade-fy2gm]

And Layne Staley, I would add. There's a real cutting and bleeding vulnerability here that is similiar to Layne's music -- Layne's vocals and songwriting. Layne's technical vocal range and astonishing depth are one. As is the case with Beck in this particular song. They're completely different obviously, but both musically brilliant in this way.

[@devildoll9929]

Steve Masters john Lennon doesn't deserve to like Beck or Paul Mccartnys boots

[@perimarr6925]

An amazing artist..

[@PhilosopherSci]

Looks amazingly like Kurt in opening shot. Even the couch looks just like Cobain's last couch! Keep going Beck. Kurt would be very proud of you.

[@BrandonTedrow]

Same era. However, this song came after Cobain's passing, I believe. It was a time after angsty grunge to a time of resolution. It was the end of a decade-Iong acid trip.

[@phishcatt]

Stop making everything about Kurt fucking Cobain. I don't know how his fans manage to inject him everywhere even when he's irrelevant. This is insanely more melodic than any of the grimmey, angsty stuff Cobain would've wrote.

[@deckard2665]

Amazing song.

[@matthewfrawley724]

Mutations was a bit hard to like after the all out party vibe of Odelay. This was the one song that truly grabbed me when I bought the CD. Still love it.

[@agentike2]

sounds like it was inspired by "The End" by the Doors.

[@openyourmind1694]

I agree

[@dMoniker]

Yep it is, and its one of only a handful of songs i listen to on Mutations.

[@robertmantell1700]

IT sounds like a Beatles song from like '66, when George Harrison was doing the Indian / Rasha / sitar stuff. I really like this! Kinda like "Within You Without You"

im with james, mutations is the water mark. Sea change is too depressing, although the golden age and paper tigers are fantastic.

[@JonShade-fy2gm]

Sea Change wouldn't be Sea Change without the devastation and self-awareness of that brand of hell.

[@johnarundell7951]

Everyone dismissing Sea Change as "too depressing" is just incredibly lame and shallow :/ Beck's greatest album and one of the greatest albums in the history of recorded music. Every song is a minor masterpiece, the album as a whole is a major masterpiece.
